Former Governor of Jigawa State, Alhaji Sule Lamido, on Tuesday met with former President Olusegun Obasanjo behind closed door in his hill-top residence in Abeokuta, Ogun State over the former’s 2019 presidential ambition.
A statement by Mansur Ahmed, the social media aide to Lamido said: “The meeting was part of consultation with relevant stakeholders and key political actors in Nigeria across the length and breadth of this Nation.”
Lamido had similarly visited former military Head of State, Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar two weeks ago amongst others as part of his nationwide consultations on his presidential aspiration in 2019.
He had previously visited another former military president, Gen. Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida.
Before then, Lamido met with all the state chairmen of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), including Zonal vice chairmen of the party, urging them of his aspiration and urged them to pick the best for the party when the time comes.
